Ahimè, [qual forza ignota
Anima quelle voci!]1 Io tremo, io sento
Tutto inondarmi il seno
Di gelido sudor... Fuggasi... Ah quale...
Qual' è la via! Chi me l'addita? Oh Dio,
Che ascoltai! Che m'avvenne! Ove son io!
Aria
Ah l'aria d'intorno
Lampeggia, sfavilla,
Ondeggia, vacilla
L'infido terren!
Qual notte profonda
D'orror mi circonda!
Che larve funeste,
Che smanie son queste!
Che fiero spavento
Mi sento nel sen!

Ai, jo tremolo! Sento tot el meu pit
Language: Catalan (Català) after the Italian (Italiano)
Recitatiu:
Ai, jo tremolo! Sento tot el meu pit
inundar-se amb una suor gèlida!
Fugir! Ai quin? Quin és el camí?
Qui me’l pot indicar?
Oh Déu! Què sento? Què m’arriba? Oh Déu!
Què sento? On sóc?
Ària:
Ai, al voltant, l’aire
llampegueja, espurneja;
oneja, vacil•la
el terreny insegur!
Quina profunda nit
m’envolta d’horror!
Quins fantasmes funestos,
quines fúries són aquestes!
Quin cruel esglai
sento al meu pit!
